can anyone tell me where i can get any software as my comp only goes 1024 resolution,really starting to piss me off with all these new games just to big for my screen

As far as I know, there is no software, you just have to have a monitor which can go up to that res. I have the same problem, can only play 1024 layouts. EVEN THE POLL SAYS THAT DX - 1024 x 768 IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT! We are seeing loads of machines that many people just can't play. Such a shame. All that work going to waste.

Yup. No real quick fix to this short of buying a new monitor. I know it's not everyones cup of tea but if a layout is designed at a higher resolution, thats because the layout designer has a monitor to do so. I wouldn't expect a layout designer to only use 3/4 of his monitor to design just to keep everyone happy, just like if you had a car that did 70mph, you wouldn't drive about on motorways only doing 50 would you.

You may have an old driver for your monitor. Thats always worth trying before buying a new one.

When u get a new monitor u will see how much better they look in 1280x1024. Not much of a consilation i know.

well the monitor problem isnt quite true as it can be the drivers u use for ur gfx card that can alter the size ur monitor can go to as i have a geforce fx 5600 now if i use the drivers it came with i can make my monitor goto 2048 x 1536 but if i apply new drivers from nvidia i only manage 1024x768 now explain that one

[fruitymad2003]

Also they are new layout designers that are re-sizing 1280s to 1024s so you will get to play them in the end if you dont upgrade up monitor anyway!
Youll just have to wait for a bit.

Pleased that 1024's are still being done.
I know that bigger resolutions = better emulations but be a while before my monitor will be able to do more than 1024's
